Street about 1:40 p.m., Muskegon Police Capt. Andy Olson confirmed.

McPherson — who on his Facebook page lists Muskegon High School as the institution he attended or now attends — died at a local hospital shortly afterward.

The homicide is the first in the city since Jamar Love was shot in the chest about 1 p.m. Aug. 9 in the 1600 block of Dyson Street south of Dale Avenue. The suspect in that incident, Ja’Anthony Laray Harris, is still at large, authorities said.

Meanwhile, several nonfatal shootings have occurred in the city in recent weeks. Authorities say it isn’t clear which are related at this time.

An investigation into McPherson’s death continued. Olson said Monday there was little information to go on and a motive still hadn’t been determined.

Authorities encourage the public to call police with any useful information about Sunday’s homicide.

“They can call Silent Observer if they don’t want to get involved,” Olson said.

Information can be called in to Muskegon Police at 724-6750, Silent Observer at 722-7463 or 911.
